A FEW WORDS FROM THE CLIENT

PROJECT STORY

The project had a very quick start. Well-established communication with team members and timely comprehensive reports allowed to adapt the project to numerous changes, and it took 3 months to release the first version, with further frequent updates coming out once a month.

The Client's back end was tied to our iOS and Android apps, and this
also saved some time. The iOS version had no technical difficulties as
such, and was released first. The Android version had a worthwhile
challenge with the offline mode. We had to set up a caching queue with
reordering to collect photos and upload them to the server, once the
connection was restored.

There was a predictable issue with Android that lies in very high demands towards the responsiveness of gestures. People who use new social networks need to be provided with excellent smoothness of app's reaction to a touch. Special attention was paid to adjusting the scroll. But as a result, we made it easy for the system to faultlessly react to horizontal and vertical scrolling, differentiate it, thus make the experience smooth to the end user. Over time we added support for Apple Watch.

Quick
responses to the Product Owner's requests and demands and high skills of
every team member allowed the MVP appear on the market in quite a
short time. As a result, meWrap became an interesting alternative to the
existing photo sharing social networks – beautifully designed and
responsive in use. The network thrives and is under continuous evolution performed by MobiDev team.
